“Rambling About” is a blend of everything you see in seprate synth videos. It includes:
Review elements: Sharing my subjective opinions, thoughts, and takes.
Tutorial elements: Walking through the functions in an almost video manual style.
Demo elements: Providing sound examples for quick comparisons or patch ideas.
All of this is combined into a vlog-style format, full of tangents, rambling, and broader thoughts. My hope is to provide value through this mix of all these.

Glad you mention the quality of the step buttons

@@tylergates4075 wish i could better demo them on video, i donno if there’s a way, but they’re fine! they’re firm

[@tylergates4075]

@tafonyreynolds I just remember seeing the behringer rd8 in store and immediately checked out the sequencer buttons. They felt so awful and deceiving. They were mushy and not what they appeared to be. Glad to hear they moved away from that

I love that it also has midi and i can use a combination of midi triggering a drumset/multisample on the bitbox (or blackbox) and drum modules or patches/envelopes.

[@jmfhsmith4923]

Can you trigger 10 sounds from an external drum machine with midi velocity-to cv on the accent outs? How well does this work. I like using my drum pads and sequencer and the Tiptop octopus is more expensive with only 8 trigger outs.

[@snörre23]

@@jmfhsmith4923 Sorry i dont know, i dont think it transfers midi accents at all, only notes.

Nice rambling. My only drum module for the foreseeable future is the Disting EX’s sample player app so this isn’t at the top of my shopping list, but you got me thinking. About B----, I own a fair bit of their product. I really like several of their semi-modular units. Their Eurorack modules are generally fine but not very inspiring; basic functionality in a fair bit of HP. But they make it easier for people, me included, to wade into the hobby so I think they are ultimately beneficial. Right now my Go case is mostly filled with non-B--- modules from makers who probably wouldn’t have made any money off me if it wasn’t for B’s line.

@@ScottPigman Thanks Scott!

[@robertogalatola9712]

Does the RS-9 send accents through 5 pin MIDI OUT? Or is it just midi notes and sync? Thanks

[@tafonyreynolds]

@@robertogalatola9712 think it would send that as velocity over midi but check the manual

[@robertogalatola9712]

@@tafonyreynolds Yeah that's what I thought too. Unfortunately no trace of this information on the manual.

They Keys on the Erica Synths Drum seq are like a real 909 and it's quite for live performance. You get that tactile feel and know that you have pressed the button. If the Keys on the RS-9 are like the ones on the RD-9 then they are quite bad imho. I have returned the RD-9 because of the bad buttons. But i am just spoiled by the quality of Elektron Buttons.

[@tafonyreynolds]

@@slavasoloma fair! i was just expecting ASQ-1 keys from the ES Drum sequencer, we’re all spoiled with the cherry reds on the elektrons, but these rs-9s are a step up from the drum sequencer in my opinion

[@tylergates4075]

Yes the rd8 ones were so bad I lost interest in it

[@tafonyreynolds]

@@tylergates4075 curious if they’re the same

[@tylergates4075]

@tafonyreynolds I just remember looking like they are snappy and tactile, but then you push them and it's like pressing down on a dish sponge.

[@tafonyreynolds]

@@tylergates4075 wait, rs-8 is the 808 one no?

[@KD-sp9mr]

Your becoming a fanboy of the bad B🤭😂

[@tafonyreynolds]

@@KD-sp9mr great sequencer, shame it comes with guilt owning it
